Default AQU: Interesting Whirlaway shaping up

$100,000 Whirlaway on Feb. 2 and Giant Moon will pass in favor of the Gotham in March, (a good move by Schosberg IMO)..

Barrier Reef & Roman Emperor back from the Count Fleet...

Trombo's Cave's Valley trying to rebound from a poor effort in the DeD Jackpot..

And 2 Pletchers.. Spanky Fischbein who you know, and Texas Wildcatter, a VERY interesting Stonerside homebred who demolished a PHA ALW field at the end of last year..

Also Apple Special whom I'm not familiar with...

Let me guess; WILDLY. There'll be YET ANOTHER speed bias Whiralway day and some plug will wire the field and look like a world beater doing so. And will not be heard from again. And, we'll get another one of those WIPEOUT race forms: nothing gains, nothing passes, everything retreats in relation to the winner. Luckily, there are plenty of turf races on tab at other tracks (well, those that aren't saving their turf courses for polo, that is)

That's the only reason Cave Valley is coming.

Fear not, fat man, the Whirlaway has been won by closing stalwarts like Sort It Out and Little Matth Man.

I am about as big a Stonerside fan as there is, but Texas Wildcatter was drowned by Cool Coal Man in an allowance race at Churchill on 11/4. He did rebound nicely at Philly, but the quality of a six horse PHA n1x in late December is questionable at best.

So, it feels like I will be able to sleep after all.
